7 Reasons WHY HivePress is the BEST Business Directory Plugin for WordPress [FREE]

[@underdogesports7560]

Hello, sir. I watched your "How to Make a Listing Directory Website" video, and you explained it very well. However, I have a few questions: 1) Can I customize the theme with the help of Elementor? 2) Suppose I create a listing for "Amazon," and I want users to be redirected to the Amazon website. Instead of the "Reply to Listing" button, is it possible to add a button that says "Visit Now" and redirects them?

[@Mr_Web]

If you want to promote Amazon products you should use Dokan instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYfZZodtptabpac

Thank you Mr.Web. Now, what do you suggest I do to create multiple location pages for SEO purposes and expansion?

[@timstatler3214]

I'm interested in this too. I want to make pages such as "Top Rated (x) in Chicago, IL" or "Best (x) in New York City, NY"

[@robbailes9614]

@@timstatler3214 hey Tim. I have very similar ideas. Want to chat and see if we can work together on it?

[@truthseeker318]

Mr. Web great video. Is there a way to use just the plugins for Hivepress with another theme?

[@Mr_Web]

You can use shortcodes or insert the HivePress blocks in Gutenberg

[@nagamanu4246]

It would be good if they provide a dashboard for admin to approve and reject in a clean ui. Currently its very tidious to check every post by visiting the listing and then posting it by publishing

How can I make the Navbar into transparent? so that my featured image will be the navbar image?

[@FabianGarzonTV]

Thank you MR WEB for sharing your knowledge, I greet you from Colombia. I need your help. When I try to upload images in the ads, the system does not load them, what should I do or why this error is caused. I remain attentive and thank you again.

[@williammontgomery4558]

Good stuff. As a beginner I was able to install with ten playbacks to catch all the little details (it normally takes me about 25). In simple terms, is there a way I can install HivePress without affecting the existing portion of my multipage website? I was hoping to access the directory from a menu or button on one or more of the existing pages. The only other way I thought of doing it would be to create a second website under a separate domain name. I use Elementor building with Astra themes for my 'main site". Thanks in advance, Bill

[@Mr_Web]

HivePress is a theme so it will definitively affect your current website. If you want to enjoy the HivePress features, you can always install their addons/plugins but it then becomes tedious to make everything work with your current theme.

[@robbailes9614]

How is Astra working for you? Is it a local directory or multi-city?

[@aitools111]

Hello Mr web, Thank you for this great video. 1 .How to remove whole top section where has “Find everything you need” “Seach Properties….”, it takes too much space. 2. How can I make those pictures much smaller or no picture which also takes too much space.

[@robbailes9614]

You may need to ask again.

[@MartinezCalderonCo]

Is it absolutely necessary to use their theme? I like the flexibility that comes with Divi, for example. Does that integrate well?

[@Mr_Web]

It's only compatible with Elementor and the Block Editor.

I am unable to make an attribute exchange happen when the category is changed on the ad registration page. Can you help me?

[@Mr_Web]

When creating an attribute make sure to select the category as well. Only then will it be applied to such category. Check this other video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYCYZpKIZ9ukl5I

Hi Mr Web, Great videos. Do you have any idea how I can scrape content from other real estate website into listings on my own site? I have a client need this.

[@cobman]

@@rainsoundsleepandrelaxation better to just use an IDX feed enabled plugin. It will pull from the real estate MLS, and it's about $99/mo.

Hello Mr Web, I have set up a website, but I have noticed there is no place for contact information for the seller, or do I have to create the contact number, and email as an attribute. I look forward to your response. Thank you very much for your videos.

[@Mr_Web]

Yes, these would be attributes too. Then you can define if you wish to display them in the frontend or not...

[@orangegreen369]

Hi Mr. Web. I’m a novice… how do I change/customize the layout of the listing page itself? I want to move things around, not just add attributes. Thx!

[@robbailes9614]

Good question! Try reposting it

[@globaltravelfanatic]

Very good tutorials but sadly the font colours on the header are too light and cannot be changed. Impossible to change the font colour

[@Mr_Web]

Just add this CSS code that'll do the trick nicely. Relace the HEX code with whatever colour you want, in this case jet black: li.menu-item { color: #000000; }

Problems with filter in HivePress. Apparently whenever I filter the extremes the system returns the wrong products. Example: I have 4 products, with the values: 1000 2000 3000 4000 If I filter the error value 1000 or 4000 (the system shows all products. (but if I filter by the value 2000 or 3000 the system filters correctly. I've looked through everything here, I can't solve the question

@@Mr_Web I already built the site- and did not plan to add a directory until the end :( I wish i had stumbled on this video when i was doing my initial research.

[@LilacDaisy2]

Ohhh, I remember what else I didn't like. The big boring buttons could not be styled differently, and their colours were set, depending on the two colours you choose. Those colours go where the theme decides, and I have no control. Also, their *packages* were very plainly designed. I'll have to decide if this is a dealbreaker. So hard to find a good directory theme or plugin!!!

Hi Mr Web, thank you for the very helpful hive tutorials.

Hello Mr Web! Thank you very much for your videos! I have watched and followed your instructions in this one many times: "How to Make a Listing Directory and Classified Website with Wordpress FOR FREE 2022". Which is the reason why I am contacting you via this comment. That being, this comment/request should be under it, but since there are so many other comments already, I thought it might be easier for you to spot my comment here under this video, which falls in the same category. (A little bit of creative thinking on my part)! Mr Web, my reason for contacting/posting this comment is to ask for your help Sir to resolve a problem that I have encountered at the end of my classified ads website built with the same "HivePress" template, which is the "PACKAGES"! No matter what I do, and by that I mean I followed that video tutorial to a T. Still, I cannot get the packages' to appear when I click the "ADD LISTING" button, which should present the categories' options, and there by "the packages". So, Mr Web, would you happen to know the reason why it doesn't work? I would definitely appreciate your help Sir. Thank you in advance Sir! And by the way, this is the site in case you would like to check it out yourself: pittclass.com.

Add-ons are too expensive as compared to a premium theme

[@Mr_Web]

I don't think they're too expensive considering that they're a one-off payment. Buy it, that's it, they're yours forever including all future updates. Most plugins/addons nowadays are on a yearly renewal basis...

[@JKAdams]

Premium themes are too bloated. Better to have a theme you like and use the plugin for functionality. Being tied to a theme is not fun.

[@Traveltech360]

This is a theme not a plugin!

Correct! But no one searches for "Directory theme" they all look for "Directory plugin" that's why we used it like that in the title 👍
